n.
mid-13c., &q...<br /><br /> Word Origin and History for money<br />n.<br /><br />mid-13c., "coinage, metal currency," from Old French monoie "money, coin, currency; change"<br /> (Modern French monnaie), from Latin moneta "place for coining money, mint; coined money, money, coinage," from Moneta, a title or surname of the Roman goddess Juno, in or near whose temple money was coined; perhaps from monere "advise, warn" (see monitor (n.)), with the sense of "admonishing goddess," which is sensible, but the etymology is difficult. Extended early 19c. to include paper money.<br /><br /> It had been justly stated by a British writer that the power to make a small piece of paper,<br /> not worth one cent, by the inscribing of a few names, to be worth a thousand dollars, was a power<br /> too high to be entrusted to the hands of mortal man. [John C. Calhoun, speech, U.S. Senate, Dec. 29,<br /> 1841]<br /><br /> I am not interested in money but in the things of which money is the symbol. [Henry Ford]<br /><br />To make money "earn pay" is first attested mid-15c. Highwayman's threat your money or your life first attested 1841. Phrase in the money (1902) originally meant "one who finishes among the prize-winners" (in a horse race, etc.). The challenge to put (one's) money where (one's) mouth is is first recorded 1942, American English. money-grub "one who is sordidly intent on amassing money" is from 1768. <br />The image of money burning a hole in someone's pocket is attested from 1520s.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://wiini.com" rel="nofollow">generation</a><br /><a href="http://wiini.com" rel="nofollow">money</a><br /><a href="http://wiini.com" rel="nofollow">forex</a><br /><a href="http://wiini.com" rel="nofollow">game</a><br /><a href="http://wiini.com" rel="nofollow">mlm</a><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990556226561515452.post-21539576900846244192016-01-05T19:49:23.167-08:002016-01-05T19:49:23.167-08:00Glad you did this review.
